Acrolein Detector Tube
FOR SAFE OPERATION :
Carefully
read
this
manual
and
the
instruction
manual
of
your
Gastec
Gas
Sampling
Pump.
&WARNING:
1.
Use
only

detector
tubes
in
a
Gastec
Pump.
2.
Do
not
interchange
or
use
non-Gastec
parts
or
components
in
Gastec's
detector
tube
and
pump
system.
3.
The
use
of
non-Gastec
parts
or
components
in
Gastec's
detector
tube
and
pump
system,
or
use
of
a
non-Gastec
detector
tube
with
a
Gastec
pump,
or
use
of
a

until
the
flow
finish
indicator
indicates
the
end
of
the
sample.

1.
For
checking
the
leakage
of
the
pump,
insert
a
fresh
sealed
detector
tube
into
the
pump.
Follow
instructions
provided
with
the
pump
operating
manual.
2.
Break
tips
off
a
fresh
detector
tube
with
the
tube
tip
breaker
of
the
pump.
3.
Insert
the
tube
into
the
pump
inlet
with
arrow
(
G
►
)
on
the
tube
pointing
toward
pump.
4.
Make
certain
the
pump
handle
is
all
the
way
in.
Align
the
guide mark
on
the
pump
body
with
the
guide
mark
on
the
handle.
5.
Pull
the
handle
all
the
way
out
until
it
locks
at
one
pump
stroke
(100
ml).
Wait
two
minutes
and
confirm
the
completion
of
the
sampling.
Repeat
the
above
sampling
procedure
one
more
time.
6.
For
smaller
measurements
less
than
10
ppm,
repeat
the
above
sampling
procedure
two
more
times
until
the
stain
reaches
the
first
calibration
mark.
+
t
7.
Read
concentration
level
at
the
interface
where
the
stained
reagent
meets
the
unstained
reagent.
8.
If
temperature
correction
is
necessary,
obtain
the
true
concentration
by
using
the
temperature
correction
table.
Afterwards
multiply
the
correction
factor
of
pump
stroke
if
necessary.
9.
If
pressure
correction
is
necessary,
use
the
pressure
correction
formula.
